Abstract

Approximately 8-10% of couples are facing some kind of infertility problem. Infertility is defined as a couple's inability to achieve pregnancy over an average of one year without using birth control methods and while engaging in normal sexual intercourse. Primary and secondary infertility are the two types of infertility. The high percentage of female reproductive age factors influencing infertility, as well as existing studies on infertility-related factors in women, piques the researcher's interest in studying the factors that influence infertility in women. This study is an observational descriptive-analytic with a chi-square design based on secondary data collected from medical records. The majority (37,6%) of infertile women in this study were within the 31-35 age group. Most of the infertile women are primary infertile type women (81%). Indications that cause infertility include an indication of tubal damage, uterine disorders of the endometrium, and ovulation problems. In this case, researchers used these three indications to examine infertility factors in women of reproductive age. Based on the study results, 25% of indications of tubes, 21.7% of endometrial indications, and indications of ovarian problems were calculated by looking at AMH (Anti Müllerian Hormone) and AFC (Antral Follicle Count) values. In this study, the researchers looked for a correlation between increasing age in reproductive women with increasing AMH and AFC levels. Based on random sampling, there was a significant correlation between the increasing reproductive age of women and decreasing AMH and AFC values in women of reproductive age who underwent therapy at Bunda International Clinic, Morula IVF Jakarta.

Keywords: Infertility, women of reproductive age, AMH, AFC
